Abstract

This paper proposes a joint analysis of the discursive, formal and economic aspects of an archetypical political newspaper of the Monarchical restoration period in Spain. El Porvenir was the personal organ of Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla and the Republican Progressive Party. It is therefore a partisan and antimonarchical newspaper at a time when the independent and business press predominates. It is, moreover, an exceptional case due to the fact that its financial documentation had been preserved in the private archive of Ruiz Zorrilla. These unpublished sources make El Porvenir a tool to know the press industry in depth from an economical point of view, as well as the relationship of these aspects with the innate aims of a political newspaper.
